2020 Mitsubishi ASX wiper-refills: what they do and when to replace them

Wiper-refills are relevant and used on the 2020 Mitsubishi ASX. Mitsubishi’s owner’s maintenance guidance and Genuine Parts catalogue list refillable rubber inserts for the front wiper blades on ASX models, and workshop practices in Australia and New Zealand commonly service these with refills rather than replacing the entire blade. Parts listings for the GA/CF-series ASX (2010–2020) show front wiper rubbers supplied as service items, while the rear wiper is typically replaced as a complete blade assembly. These points align with dealership service procedures and local fitment data from major suppliers used by ANZ workshops.

On this ASX, wiper-refills are simply the replaceable rubber inserts that slide into the original blade frames. Their job is straightforward: keep the windscreen clear, quiet and streak-free in rain, road spray and coastal grime. Because the frames and arm geometry are designed for the car, replacing just the rubber maintains the correct wipe pattern and pressure while keeping costs down and reducing waste.

As part of regular servicing, refills should be inspected each visit and typically replaced every 12 months, or sooner if there’s chatter, streaking, squeal, or nicks from bug strikes and UV exposure. Australian and New Zealand conditions—summer heat, UV and sea air—can harden the rubber faster than in milder climates. The rear blade generally comes as a one-piece unit, replace it when it smears or skips.

• Check the handbook or parts guide for the correct refill profile and length for the driver and passenger sides. ASX front blades commonly use narrow (around 6 mm) or wide (around 8 mm) refills depending on the original blade frame.
• Clean the windscreen and wiper edges with washer fluid or mild soapy water at each wash. Avoid petroleum-based cleaners on the rubber.
• Lift blades off the glass in frosty or hot conditions if parked for long periods to prevent set and sticking.
• When fitting refills, match the stainless rails and orientation, and trim to length only if the part is supplied oversize. Don’t bend the frame.
• Use quality washer fluid and keep nozzles aimed correctly to reduce dry wiping.

Popular questions

Do the 2020 ASX front wipers take refills or full blades?
Both options are valid. The OEM front blades on the ASX are designed to accept rubber refills, which dealers and workshops in ANZ commonly use. If the blade frame is damaged or an upgraded beam blade is preferred, the whole blade can be swapped instead. The rear is usually serviced as a complete blade assembly.

How often should wiper-refills be replaced on a 2020 ASX?
Plan on about every 12 months, but coastal driving, harsh sun, or frequent dirt-road use may shorten that. Replace at the first sign of streaking, judder or noise—good visibility is safety-critical, especially in sudden downpours.

What size wiper-refills does the 2020 ASX need?
Sizes vary by blade style and market. Check the vehicle handbook or a parts guide for the correct lengths and refill width/profile for the driver and passenger sides. If unsure, bring the old blade or VIN to a parts counter to match the correct refill.
